Course Description

Instituting the 5S’s is usually one of the first step companies take in implementing Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma. The 5S’s (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain) are rough translations from the original Japanese terms referring to a process to optimize workplace organization.

With the 5S’s: Workplace Organization computer-based or web-based training course, employees will learn the fundamental concepts of the 5S’s that will improve quality and productivity. The training includes step-by-step guidelines for achieving the 5S’s as well as a roadmap to implement the 5S’s throughout the entire organization. Many examples of 5S success stories are included throughout the training.
